CHECK%IT%OUT:%http://mccord.cm.utexas.edu/courses/fall2017/ch301/vsepr/
To>Do%before%Thursday• Finish&homework• The&Sapling&homework&has&some&really&good&problems&that&will&prepare&you&for&the&exam• For&the&exam,&use&your&professor’s&definition&of&polarity,¬&what&you&see&on&
Sapling/online.&• Use&Chrome!!!
• Extra&practice:• Canvas&extra&practice• Gchem >&Bonding&Unit&>&Additional&Content&>&Helpsheets and&Worksheets• Another&good&exercise&is&drawing&out&the&Lewis&Structures&of&ALL&polyatomic&ions:• Draw&the&structure&(might&have&resonance!)• Determine&the&formal&charges&on&the&atoms&for&your&acceptable&structures• Determine&the&VSEPR&geometry&and&bond&angles• Check&your&work&with&wikipedia
Goals%for%Today• Complex&Lewis&Structures• Incomplete,&Expanded&Octet• Resonance
• VSEPR&Theory• Basic&and&complex&shapes• Bond&Angles• Application&to&large&organic&molecules• Molecular&polarity
Covalent%Bond%Definitions• Bond&strength:&the&energy&required&to&break&a&covalent&bond&(also&known&as&Bond&Dissociation&
Enthalpy)• Bond&order:&a&measurement&of&the&average&number&of&chemical&bonds&between&two&atoms&in&a&
species&• This&gets&more&detailed&as&time&goes&on;&for&now,&think&of&single,&double,&and&triple&bonds
• Bond&length:&the&distance&between&atoms&in&a&bond• Electronegativity:&a&measurement&of&the&electronWwithdrawing&nature&of&an&element&in&a&bond.&
Leads&to&unequal&sharing&of&electrons&in&a&covalent&bond,&or&polarity.• Resonance:&multiple&acceptable&Lewis&Structures&are&available&for&a&given&compound,&meaning&
that&the&compound&actually&exists&as&the&average&of&all&acceptable&structures• Delocalized&electrons:&in&the&case&of&resonance,&electrons&are¬&confined&to&a&single&bond.&
Instead&they&“resonate”&over&multiple&bonds.&We&call&this&delocalization.&
Note:&bond&strength&and&order&are&both&indicators&of&stability.&Higher&bond&order&means&a&higher&bond&strength,&which&also&correlates&inversely&with&bond&length.&

Resonance• Resonance&occurs&whenever&a&
structure&has&multiple&acceptable&Lewis&Structures.
• The&science&behind&this&is&that&the&electrons&do¬&exist&in&a&single&place,&nor&do&they&“flicker”&back&and&forth&between&the&bonds.&Instead,)electrons)are)delocalized)and)their)average)charge)is)spread)out)over)among)multiple)bonds
We&call&either&the&top&or&bottom&drawings&of&Benzene&“acceptable”&structures.&However,&only&the&drawing&on&the&right&shows&the&actual&delocalization&of&electrons&(a)perfect)average)of)the)acceptable)structures)
Acceptable&structures
Resonance• What&constitutes&an&“acceptable”&
Lewis&Structure?1. The&negative&charge&is&placed&on&only&the&
electronegative&atoms&and&minimized&on&your¢ral&atom&(generally)
2. Any&individual&charge&does¬&exceed&+/W1&(generally)&
3. Put&your&charges&on&as&few&atoms&as&possible
4. Your)structure)accurately)reflects)the)number)of)available)electrons)in)your)atoms

VSEPR%Theory%Definitions• VSEPR&theory&is&an&empirical&method&of&understanding&molecular&
shapes&in&three&dimensional&space.
• The&theory&gets&its&name&from&the&fact&that&electron®ions&have&the)lowest)energy)when&repulsions&are&minimized.&• In&other&words,&electron'dense)regions)want)to)be)as)far)away)from)each)
other)as)possible)in&3D&space.
• VSEPR&gives&us&two&different&3D&geometries: electronic)geometry)and)molecular)geometry.• Electronic)geometry:&the&shape&of&all&electronWrich®ions&around&a¢ral&
atom&(lone&pair®ions&and&bonding®ions)• Molecular)geometry:&the&shape&of&only&the&bonding®ions&around&a&
central&atom
• Knowing&the&geometry&around&a¢ral&atom&can&clue&you&in&on&the&approximate&bond angles&that&exist&around&the¢ral&atom&and&whether&the&molecule&is&polar&or&nonpolar.

Exam%QuestionWhat&are&the&approximate&bond&angles&around&the¢ral&atom&of&methane&(CH4)&in&3D&space?
Remember:&VSEPR&gives&the&lowest&energy&positions&of&peripheral&atoms&in&three&dimensional&space.&
VSEPR%Theory:%Simple%Geometries• VSEPR&Theory&electronic&geometries&are&named&after&the&shape&you&observe&if&you&enclose&
your&electronWdense®ions&in&a&3D&structure.
Linear Trigonal Planar Tetrahedral
Note:&these&examples&have&the&same&electronic&and&molecular&geometries&because&there&are&no&lone&pairs&(the&number&of&electronWdense®ions&is&equal&to&the&number&of&bonding®ions).&&

• In&other&words,&what&happens&when&we&replace&a&bond&with&a&loneWpair®ion?• Your&molecular&geometry&is&determined&by&looking&first&at&the&number&of&electronWdense®ions&and&then&at&
the&number&of&bonding®ions.
Tetrahedral Trigonal Pyramid Bent
All)of)the)above)have)tetrahedral)electronic)geometry
The%Effect%of%Lone%Pairs•Lone&pairs&occupy&more&space&on&the¢ral&atom&than&a&bonding&pair&of&electrons,&meaning&they&end&up&being&more&repulsive&than&bonding®ions
• The&electron&density&of&lone&pairs&is)ALL)on)the)one)central)atom)– not&shared&out&over&two&– as&in&a&conventional&bond
•This&affects&the&bond&angles&at&the¢ral&atom,&making&them&smaller&than&expected&for&a&perfect&geometry
VSEPR%Geometries:%5%e> Regions• We&now&know&that&we&can&have&more&than&4&electron®ions&around&a¢ral&atom.&Five&

VSEPR%Geometries:%5%e> Regions• The&equatorial&and&axial&positions&have&
differing&stability.
• If&you&want&to&replace&a&bond&with&a&lone&pair&in&the&trigonal bipyramidal electronic&geometry,&you&must&remove&an&equatorial&bond.&
• It)is)more)stable)to)add)lone)pairs)to)the)equatorial)position
• Notice&the&effect&of&the&lone&pair&on&”tweaking”&the&pure&bond&angles&

Remember:&when&we&remove&a&bond&and&replace&with&a&lone&pair&in&the&trigonal&bipyramid&geometry,&we&ALWAYS&remove&from&the&equatorial&position
VSEPR%Geometries:%6 e> Regions• The&octahedral&molecular&geometry&is&completely&symmetrical,&so&there&is&no&axial/equatorial&
preference.&However,&I&like&to&think&of&it&as&linear&atoms&in&the&axial&position,&and&a&square&plane&made&up&by&equatorial&atoms.&
• The&one&rule&when&replacing&bonds&with&lone&pairs&is&that&you&must&always&remove&electrons&from&the&opposite&position&as&the&last.

peripheral&atoms?

VSEPR%Theory:%Molecular%Polarity
• Polarity&in&a&molecule&occurs&when&there&are&polar&bonds&and&there&is&a&net&dipole&moment&on&the&molecule.&• A&perfectly&symmetrical&molecule&will&always&be&
nonpolar.• A¢ral&atom&bound&to&different&peripheral&atoms&will&
be&polar,&as&long&as&there&is&a&single&polar&bond.&(EXCEPTION:&if&the&axial&positions&are&the&same&and&the&equatorial&positions&are&the&same,&the&dipoles&will&cancel.&Still&a&perfectly&symmetrical&molecule)&
• Lone&pairs&are&generally&an&indication&that&the&molecule&is&polar,&except&in&the&square&planar&and&linear&molecular&geometries
• VSEPR&is&important&because&the&shape&of&the&molecule&plays&an&important&role&in&the&chemical&and&physical&properties&of&the&molecule.&
• An&important&conclusion&that&can&be&made&based&on&VSEPR&shapes&is&molecular)polarity.• Polarity&in&a&bond&occurs&when&one&species&disproportionately&pulls&the&electrons&closer,&causing&a&
dipole&moment.
All&red&shapes&are&polar
Basic&rules&for&molecular&polarity:1. Look&for&
asymmetry&in&connectivity.&CH3Cl
2. Look&for&lone&pair&asymmetry.&EVERYTHING&with&lone&pairs&is&polar,&except&for&the&linear&and&square&planar&geometries
